Hybrid organic–inorganic, hexa-arm dendrimers based on an Mo6Cl8 core
Abstract
Dendrons with focal phenoxide groups were shown to substitute for triflate or methoxide ligands around an Mo6Cl8 core to form molecules of the form Mo6(µ3-Cl)8(OR)6 where R = dendrons with zero to two hyperbranches, respectively; these molecules represent a new type of metal cluster core dendrimer with six arms and high symmetry.
